Estimated hammer
$94,000
$83,000 – $108,000 22% below estimateMedium — the roadster comp set is wide ($44,650 to $100,000) and the 1-of-2 colour claim rests on the seller's word rather than a registry specialist's confirmed count, though cNw's supportive comment and an included window sticker point the right way; reserve risk on a dealer consignment is the other variable.
A 9k-mile final-year Gen IV Viper roadster in a claimed 1-of-2 Bright Silver/black-stripe combination, with fresh tires and a Gen 5 diff swap, that should hammer in the low-to-mid $90,000s.
Bidding: The $73,000 standing bid is well below where this finishes; expect the last five figures to arrive in the final ten minutes. Bidding to $92,000 is straightforward value for a 9k-mile final-year roadster with fresh tires, a window sticker and a credible rare-colour story. Push to $100,000 only if the seller confirms the original differential comes with the car and someone from the registry side posts a hard production count — with both, $105,000 is defensible. Stop at $108,000; above that you are paying coupe money for a roadster on an unverified claim. Budget $2,000–$3,000 for a window regulator rebuild and a full fluid service regardless. If it goes reserve-not-met in the low $90,000s, a post-auction deal near $95,000 is a fair outcome for both sides — that pattern is well established on this model.

The market
Across 93 completed BaT auctions, 65 sold for a median of $82,000 and a mean of $93,880, with the middle half of the market between $71,000 and $118,000 and a full range of $42,300 to $202,000. That $47k interquartile spread on an $82k median is the whole story: this is not one market but three — ordinary 2008 coupes and roadsters, ACRs, and delivery-mileage time capsules. Sell-through is 69.9%, which is respectable, but 28 cars failed to meet reserve and the failures cluster very specifically: sellers of good-but-not-exceptional standard cars anchoring above $100k. The 4,400-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe stalled at $100,777, the 10k-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster at $80,111 (commenter Nahpets: "Less than $80k: no Gen 4 roadster sold for that price on BAT for the last 3 years"), and even the 6k-Mile 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR was walked at $109,000.
The trend is genuinely up. Calendar-year medians run $58,000 (2018), $79,000 (2021), $96,250 (2022), $96,500 (2023), $106,000 (2024) and $118,000 (2025). The last twelve months sit at a $92,000 median against $78,750 for the twelve before, +16.8%. Do not be misled by the 2026 figure of $89,750 (n=14): that is a mix effect, not a correction — 2026's book is heavy with standard coupes and roadsters (the 12k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster at $74,500, the 17k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster at $70,500) and light on the ACRs and time capsules that pulled 2025's median to six figures.
Mileage is the other axis and it is brutally non-linear. Under 3,000 miles the market pays collector money — $202,000 for the 8-mile car, $175,000 for the 11-mile Final Edition, $132,000 for a 2,200-mile 2010 coupe. Between 4,000 and 15,000 miles a stock, clean, documented standard car is an $80-100k proposition. Past 20,000 miles it falls off a cliff: $51,234 at 21k, $44,650 at 28k, $45,500 at 33k. Notably, the market has stopped rewarding the very-low-mile-but-neglected car: multiple threads now price in the $3,500-plus of dried seals, gaskets and 15-year-old fluids that come with a garage-queen.

Bone-stock specification with OEM takeoffs included premium +$10-20k versus an equivalent modified car
On 8k-Mile 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR (reserve not met at $90,500) redtanrt10 wrote "all stock with same miles and ownership history would have been $110 or better", and ACRucrazy noted the car lacked "many of the high dollar original parts". By contrast 1,400-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe made $111,000 with heavy mods precisely because every factory takeoff — suspension, driveshaft, diff, PCM, manifolds — came with it.
Non-factory stripes, graphics or personalised paint discount -10-20%, and often kills the reserve outright
9k-Mile 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster with hand-painted gold-leaf artwork stalled at $58,000; ILLMAX1: "those incredibly dated, painted-on graphics are gonna keep this from hitting an amount it could have easily reached, which I'm suggesting to be $100k+." 4,400-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe failed at $100,777 after FoxyChicken established the red stripes were never a factory option on Bright Silver Metallic.
A rough model of this market, not a valuation of a specific car. Each factor says
whether it was measured from the sales on file or judged from what
the listings and comment threads say — the judged ones carry no sample behind them and should be
read as an opinion with a number attached. Everything is read against one specific car, named under
the figure, and each control says what changing that one thing is worth. The band is the middle half
of the cars behind the figure showing, so a real car lands outside it about as often as a coin comes
up heads twice.

raised or already repaired on at least 8 of the 93 cars reviewed, across all three model years
pieter3d on 11k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe: "the two major worries with the ZB2 vipers are the door window actuators (the cable guides are plastic and can break), and the e-brake pads" — that car's right door had already been fixed by the dealer. Modality14 on Original-Owner 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe: "Both of mine failed at 7,400 miles the only real fix is to have them rebuilt by power window repair." EastCoastCarGuy's 3,800-mile 2009 needed a driver's regulator. 12k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster is listed with a "noisy" passenger lifter.
Check: Cycle both windows fully up and down repeatedly, listening for grinding or slow travel; ask whether either regulator has been replaced and with what. Doug Shelby Engineering and Power Window Repair rebuilds are the community's accepted fix.
majorOriginal or decade-old tires on low-mileage cars — a genuine safety issue on a car with no stability control
raised on at least a dozen listings; the single most recurring technical complaint in these threads
CarFarm on 3,300-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR, which still wore its 2008 Michelins: "I would not drive this with those tires, it is a major safety concern." ACRucrazy on 6k-Mile 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR: replacing the original 300-mile tires "made all the difference in the world in street manners" and driving on 12-year-old rubber is "a quick way to end up with a totaled ACR." C3Lee flagged mismatched fresh tires on 2,200-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe as "not a good idea while driving the king of snap oversteer."
Check: Read all four DOT date codes yourself from photographs before bidding and budget $2,000-$2,500 for replacement. Treat anything over six years old as scrap regardless of tread.
moderateDried seals, gaskets and stale fluids from long storage — the garage-queen tax
raised on most sub-5,000-mile listings; at least 6 threads with specific dollar figures or failure accounts
Ecmesquire on No Reserve: 8-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10: "I bought a 2010 Viper ACR last year with 8k miles. Took it to dodge dealer and they found several leaking gaskets that were totally dried out... I paid about $3500 to have all fluids replaced and several gaskets/seals replaced (one required them to drop the transmission)." On No Reserve: 2,200-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster ACR — last oil change 2012 — BobbyZZZ relayed specialist Larry M.: "the Gen IV and V engines have suffered failures due to oil gelling which restricts oil flow." On 17k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster the seller answered the fluids question with "Not since I've owned it."
Check: Demand dates for oil, coolant, brake, clutch, transmission and differential fluid. On any car that has sat, budget $3,000-$4,000 immediately and consider having the oil pan inspected before purchase.
moderateSuspension rubber decomposes regardless of mileage or storage — sway bar link boots, control arm and differential bushings
raised or already serviced on at least 5 cars, several with under 10k miles
Modality14 on Original-Owner 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe: "I got my gen4 2 years ago at 7000 miles and they looked like that. I just had them replaced at 9k and when the bushings came out they fell apart including the diff bushings." EastCoastCarGuy, 3,800-mile 2009 owner: "even though my car has lived in a temperature controlled garage its entire life, the sway bar link boots on my car all decomposed." 8k-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe Final Edition had front and rear sway bar end links done in May 2024.
Check: Get under the car with a light: look at sway bar end link boots, lower control arm bushings and diff bushings. Moog tie-rod ends and end links are the standard preventative fix and are cheap; do not let a seller call cracked rubber "patina".
Check: Inspect the oil cooler lines for weeping at the fittings and ask whether the fifth-generation lines have been fitted. BVIPER explicitly asks for photographs of them on every listing he comments on.
reported twice by the same specialist commenter, on two different Prefix-engined cars
trackguy on 9.0L-Powered 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR-X: "I owned an ACRx... It had a fresh Prefix motor in it also. At about 4-5 hours the cam bolts walked and dropped the timing chain. $10k plus later it was fixed." The same commenter on 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR with a Prefix Stage II build: "it failed on the 3rd track day due to the cam gear bolts not loctited. When I had it rebuilt I was told that was a common issue." Two accounts from one person — weight it accordingly, but it is the only repeated engine-internals claim in the whole set.
Check: If the car has a Prefix or Arrow performance build, get the build sheet and confirm the cam gear bolts were properly torqued and Loctited on reassembly. This is a $10k failure.
Check: Scan for stored codes and, critically, confirm no readiness monitors read "not ready" — mandatory if you live in a test state and the car has been tuned or decatted. Ask for the stock ECM in writing.
moderatePaint damage hidden under, or created by, paint protection film
raised on 3 listings, by experienced marque commenters
Rocket254 on 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR: "The pictures from the previous auction showed front end blems with no clarification as to whether they struck through the paint or PPF... I'm really starting to wonder how many of these cars are full of knife cuts waiting to be discovered upon removal." LS3Frank on the same car: "poorly done PPF is holding the price back." On 6k-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe, four paint bubbles appeared after old PPF was stripped; SnakebitRam23: "This only happens if the car was repainted at some point."
Check: These bodies are composite so a paint meter is useless. Inspect PPF edges under strong light for lifting, dirt ingress and knife marks, and treat full-body film on a "no stories" car as a reason to ask harder questions, not fewer.
majorCorrosion and storage damage on cars that sat outside or in humidity
one severe case, but the thread forensics are instructive
On the Viper Blue Metallic 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe that sold for $60,000, six separate commenters flagged pitted pedal arms and pulleys; Crit listed the photo numbers and noted "cobwebs on the tires and rocker panels", and several suspected Hurricane Harvey exposure given the car's Texas history. The seller denied visible rust while the photographs showed it, and the winning bidder admitted "there was just too much uncertainty in the condition of car."
Check: Look at pedal arms, shifter hardware, alternator and idler pulleys, and trunk carpet in the photographs. Ask directly where the car lived and whether it was ever in a flood-zone state during a named storm.
minorParking-brake pads that do not retract and wear excessively
raised once, by a knowledgeable commenter listing the model's two canonical faults
pieter3d on 11k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe named it alongside the window regulators: "the e-brake pads (they don't retract well after brake release so they wear excessively)." Single-source, so treat it as a check rather than a fault to expect.
Check: Roll the car with the handbrake released and listen for drag; inspect the rear pads for uneven wear.
Read every DOT date code in the photographs before you bid. Original 2008-2010 tires appear on cars with 69 miles and cars with 4,400 miles alike, and replacement is $2,000-$2,500.
Get written dates for oil, coolant, brake, clutch, transmission and differential fluid. On a stored car, assume $3,000-$4,000 of seal, gasket and fluid work on arrival — that is the figure Ecmesquire actually paid on an 8k-mile 2010.
Cycle both door windows fully several times. A slow or noisy regulator is the single most common Gen 4 failure and the only durable fix is a rebuilt unit.
Get under the car: sway bar end link boots, control arm and differential bushings, oil cooler lines, floor pans, and the jack points — on 16k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe an in-person buyer found rocker damage from a slipped jack that was never disclosed.
Cross-check every rarity claim against the Viper registry and Viper Club production data before paying for it. FoxyChicken, lunchbocks2002, C3Lee and LovesRed09 have publicly corrected sellers on three separate listings in this set.
Verify whether stripes are factory paint or applied vinyl, and whether they match the build sheet. On 16k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe the build sheet showed white stripes and the car wore black vinyl.
If the car is tuned or decatted, scan it yourself: confirm no readiness monitors show "not ready", and get the stock ECM and airbox in the deal or price their absence in.
On any ACR, verify the wing stanchions, end plates and splitter are genuine OEM — ACRucrazy has identified aftermarket aero masquerading as ACR equipment more than once.
On any car with a performance build by Prefix or Arrow, demand the build documentation and confirm the cam gear bolts were properly secured.
Treat full-body PPF as a question, not an answer: check the edges for lifting and dirt ingress and ask what the paint looked like before it went on.
Read the Carfax mileage column line by line. Three cars in this set had discrepancies dismissed as "clerical errors" with no documentation.
Ask the seller
When were the coolant, brake, clutch, transmission and differential fluids last changed, by whom, and do you have the invoices?
What are the DOT date codes on all four tires, and are they the originals?
Has either window regulator ever been replaced, and does either window bind or make noise today?
Do the factory takeoffs come with the car — stock ECM, airbox, exhaust, suspension, wheels, wing? If not, where did they go?
Has the car ever seen a track day, HPDE or an autocross, under you or any previous owner?
Can you scan it now and tell me whether any emissions readiness monitors read "not ready"?
Are the stripes factory paint, and does the build sheet or window sticker confirm the option?
What exactly does the registry say about this colour and stripe combination, and who verified it?
Every Carfax mileage entry — can you explain each one in order?
Where has the car been stored, was it on a tender, and how often was it run up to temperature?
If it has been repainted or had bodywork anywhere: which panels, which shop, and where are the invoices?
For an ACR: are the splitter, canards, wing stanchions and end plates all original OEM parts in their original positions?
Walk away when
Sellers who cannot produce the stock ECM after a tune. On 10k-Mile 2010 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster the seller admitted the original ECM was gone and the tuner had purged the files; the car did not sell.
A cosmetic refresh immediately before listing — ceramic coat, paint correction, fresh tires, an oil change weeks before the auction — on a car the seller has owned for only a year or two.
"Light coat" resprays. No Reserve: 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe was repainted two months before its auction; commenters found a Copart history, a wavy dash and a re-stitched seat behind it.
Blurry or partial exterior photography combined with non-answers about chips and curb rash. 7k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster had five of seven blurry exterior photos and the seller answered only "The car is what you would expect with 7k miles on it"; it failed at $65,000.
Rarity claims that get corrected in-thread. Sellers have gone from "1 of 8" to "1 of 132", from "1 of 18" to "1 of 32", and from "1 of 100 VOIX" to "1 of 78".
Non-factory stripes or graphics presented as factory specification, or a colour the stripe was never offered on.
Carfax mileage or title anomalies waved away verbally: "clerical error", "the emissions station entered it wrong", "the body shop reported it". Three such cars in this set, none with documentation.
Unexplained mechanical noise disclosed then dropped. On 4,300-Mile 2009 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster a rear-end noise appeared on a work order and the seller never produced the full JBM invoice.
Salvage-to-clean title laundering. 36k-Mile 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster went from a salvage auction with $39k of damage to a clean California title in eight months, and the seller had no repair records at all.
Any ACR-X: no VIN, no title, bill of sale only. Great track machines, but the resale pool is tiny and prices in this set ranged from $58,000 to $127,000 for broadly similar cars.
The high-water mark for the model: eight delivery miles, Snakeskin Green Pearl, plastic still on the seats, sold at no reserve into a hot April 2022 market. Note the thread's unresolved worries — 2009 tires, twelve-year-old fuel, original fluids — and the seller's unsubstantiated "last convertible ever built" claim. You are buying the odometer, not the car.
69 miles, #9 of 31, console signed by Ralph Gilles, and another VooDoo collector (Schmevin, who owns 24 of the 31) validating it in-thread. The combination of true special-edition scarcity plus delivery mileage is the only reliable route above $150k.
#27 of 50, factory wrapping intact, bought by the American Muscle Car Museum. Still landed below the $200k the seller expected — pauhana99 named the problem: "the minute someone decides to drive it, value starts plummeting." Museum-grade cars have a thin bidder pool.
A 221-mile ACR that should have been a $180k car — Mecum Kissimmee sold the same car for $170,500 the following year. What held it back: aftermarket headers with no original exhaust available, a 2019 instrument cluster replacement muddying the mileage story, and a reserve dropped mid-auction from $190k. RawlingsGarage: "I'm surprised this sold for stupid cheap."
The cheapest genuine ACR in the set, at 43,000 miles, serviced throughout by Chuck Tator and a class winner at the 2019 Lime Rock Concours. Proof that mileage overwhelms even the ACR premium — and arguably the best value in the whole record if you intend to drive one.
Restored-salvage title after a 2022 theft recovery and insurance total loss, repainted two months before the sale, with a wavy dash and P2610 in its OBD history. At 33,000 miles a clean equivalent was worth $60k+. The $15k haircut is the market's price for a branded title on this model.
The floor of the entire record. Snakeskin Green, track-used, moderate road rash on the nose, two untrue wheels, a Montana-LLC title and no maintenance receipts. Early-2018 timing didn't help, but the lesson stands: no paperwork plus cosmetic damage equals half money.
Failed to meet reserve at $58,000 despite 9,000 miles and Snakeskin Green — hand-painted gold-leaf hood graphics plus a 2024 accident with a replaced knuckle. ILLMAX1 reckoned it was otherwise a $100k+ car. The clearest single measure of what personalisation costs on this model.
Verdict
The Gen 4 is the last analog Viper and the record says it is finally being paid for: a stock, documented, sub-15k-mile coupe at $80-100k is the sweet spot for someone who will actually drive it, and an ACR at $110-125k is the only version that has shown durable appreciation. Pay up for stock spec, paperwork and a verified factory combination; walk away from personalised stripes, branded titles and any seller who cannot say when the fluids were last changed.
Sixty-five sold cars is a decent sample but thins fast once split: exterior-colour medians exist for only three colours, every analysed car is a manual so there is no transmission signal at all, and the ACR premium I quote is derived from matched-mileage pairs rather than a controlled model — condition and colour are baked into those comparisons. The ACR-X sits on three sales ranging $58,000 to $127,000 and should not be priced from this record. The 2026 calendar median of $89,750 is lower than 2025's $118,000 because 2026's listings skew to standard coupes and roadsters, not because values fell; the rolling twelve-month figure (+16.8%) is the better read. Finally, the production numbers quoted throughout — "1 of 2", "1 of 24", "1 of 11" — come from enthusiast registries and Viper Club data cited by commenters like FoxyChicken, C3Lee, lunchbocks2002 and LovesRed09. They are frequently right, they have repeatedly corrected sellers, and they are not factory-certified. Verify before you pay a premium for them.

Ultra-low-mileage, stripe-less GTS blue 2009 Viper roadster with strong provenance but recent aggressive modifications (new differential, coilovers, ceramic) and unresolved rear-end noise history that seller deflected rather than documented, ultimately sold at $98k to a determined bidder.
Unexplained rear-end noise report during differential swap; seller vague on specifics and invoicing · Removed factory differential not included; buyer receiving non-original drivetrain
A genuinely rare snakeskin green Gen 4 Viper with low miles and a devoted owner, but burdened by personalized custom artwork and an October 2024 suspension repair that—while apparently executed by a qualified tech—raised sufficient doubt to keep it well below comparable market value.
accident with disabling damage · custom airbrush artwork is highly personal and divisive among potential buyers; multiple commenters noted it will suppress final price · suspension repair (knuckle replacement) following October 2024 accident; concern raised about whether repair was performed by qualified Viper technician, though seller claims Chrysler/Dodge dealership with dedicated Viper tech performed work
A genuinely rare and well-cared-for Gen 4 V10 undermined by a seller's hazy recollection of tuning details, absent stock ECM, unexplained front-end damage, and a reserve priced above what the market will pay for a modified Viper without complete documentation.
Check engine light history and current status unclear · Front air dam bent and removed · Seller initially claimed check engine light was present due to tune/exhaust modifications, later claimed it was misremembered from another vehicle—credibility concern on technical disclosures · Stock ECM not retained after 2022 tune; problematic for future owners in emissions-testing jurisdictions

Extremely well-documented, single-owner, 7k-mile 2010 Gen 4 Viper in genuine exceptional condition, but service records are private and buyer should budget for imminent window regulator rebuild despite perfect cosmetics.

Low-mileage 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR with documented Carfax mileage discrepancy and unresolved questions about pre-PPF paint condition, sold at $92,000—a figure below market-rate expectations for sub-20k examples, likely reflecting PPF quality concerns that multiple commenters flagged as a value suppressant.

Genuinely low-mileage, well-documented 2008 Viper in a desirable and rare color, owned as a gift by an enthusiast couple and recently maintained, but with a prior history of the common right-door window actuator failure and pre-existing carpet fading that slightly undercuts condition claims.
Right door window actuator failure · Seller initially provided incorrect production-number claim (stated 'one of 8 cars in this color' with 3 coupes; later corrected to 241 total Snakeskin Green, then to 112 convertibles and 132 coupes for 2008). Multiple corrections suggest seller may not have detailed knowledge of car history. · Potential communication issue: GiuseppeVillante reported using 'Contact Seller' button but claimed not to receive responses; seller said they sent 'a number of responses per instructions from BAT,' creating unresolved discrepancy.

A rare, low-mile track-used Gen IV ACR with serious provenance (serviced by Tom Sessions, owned by noted enthusiast) handicapped at auction by a missing VIN plate and front-end cosmetic inconsistencies that triggered legitimate title-history concerns, ultimately selling well below market—$76k was a steal if the VIN replacement truly clears as stated.

A museum-quality, ultra-low-mileage Gen 4 Viper convertible in rare Venom Red with complete original documentation marred by no service history, missing top boot, aging original tires, and a failed auction at $80.5k—suggesting either a reserve too aggressive or market demand weaker than the rarity justifies.

Exceptionally low-mileage final-generation Viper held for investment and driven only to satisfy emissions, but the 332-mile Carfax discrepancy, seller's unresponsiveness, possible prior auction, and softening market conditions conspired to leave it unsold at $86k despite solid fundamentals and clean history.

A genuine low-mileage 2008 Viper in one of the rarest factory color combinations, with clean provenance and only a minor paint chip, that sold at fair market value to an active enthusiast collector.
An extraordinary time capsule with factory provenance and sub-10-mile odometer, but unaddressed storage risks (degraded seals, gaskets, 13-year-old fuel and tires) and an unproven 'last convertible' claim make this a collectable rather than a usable acquisition—final price of $202k reflects scarcity premium over underlying condition risk.
Potential dried-out seals and gaskets from 12 years of storage · 10-year-old fuel system integrity uncertain · Seller's claim that this is 'believed to be the very last convertible viper ever produced' is unsubstantiated; seller admits 'there is no written proof one way or the other' yet used this claim prominently in marketing · No drive video despite no-reserve status; seller justified it as 'keeping the miles single digit' which is logically backward for a buyer verification standpoint
One-owner, extensively documented, genuinely track-driven 2009 ACR with impeccable maintenance but strategic modifications and missing original components that signaled to the market a $90.5k ceiling, well below the reserve on a car that would have easily commanded $110k+ in stock trim.
Reserve not met despite reaching $90,500; suggests market pricing mismatch or overly ambitious reserve · Modified track car missing original parts (wing, exhaust, ECU, catalytic converters) which reduces collector appeal
A time-capsule 2009 Viper SRT-10 ACR with just 25 miles—arguably one of the lowest-mileage examples ever sold—that combines ultra-rarity, factory-original condition, and a coveted white/black/red color scheme, but carries the inherent risk that nearly 13 years of storage (even climate-controlled) may have introduced hidden deferred-maintenance gremlins that only active driving will expose.
extremely low mileage (25 miles) raises questions about provenance and whether this was truly garage-kept for 13+ years · long gap between delivery in 2009 and acquisition by selling dealer in August 2010, then no recorded activity until auction in 2022 — 12-year ownership history unclear
A genuinely rare 1:1 color 2010 ACR with exceptional provenance and preservation that sold at market peak to an enthusiast, though the original tired tires and duplicate title required close inspection.

An extremely low-mileage, rare-color factory ACR with cosmetic modifications and an evasive original owner's history, sold at a strong price reflecting both collector enthusiasm for the model and remaining questions about provenance.
Original owner's reluctance to provide details on acquisition, sale, and why so few miles were added despite seller's direct question · Replacement Ohio title listed on Carfax (not original)
A verified 1-of-1 factory ACR with track credentials, expert maintenance chain, and genuine low mileage that commanded strong buyer competition, though title state mismatch warrants standard verification diligence.

An attractive but comprehensively misrepresented Snakeskin Green Pearl Viper with intentionally concealed defects, inauthentic ACR-clone aero, altered stripes, and undisclosed mechanical and structural damage, offered by a seller who demonstrated evasiveness and lack of due diligence across multiple red-flag discrepancies.
Airbag warning light active at time of in-person inspection · ODB port non-functional or not connected · Seller claims lack of knowledge about significant modifications (wing, splitter, canards) while shopping car as ACR-style build · Original build sheet contradicts seller's claims about stripe authenticity and color
Well-maintained original-owner Gen IV Viper with premium factory and performance upgrades undermined by an undocumented 2009 accident and rotor wear requiring near-term service, but the meticulous stewardship and $14k in suspension/aero parts justified the $76.5k price to an enthusiast buyer ready for a high-impact ownership experience.
Rotor checking · Accident reported on Carfax (November 2009) with passenger door and rocker panel replacement; no photographs or repair documentation from accident provided despite commenter request · Front fascia repainted with emblem removed—raises questions about extent of prior damage beyond stated 'rock chips'
